Hawaii was independent and "owned" by Hawaiians until the US annexed, without approval by Hawaiian leadership, Hawaii on July 7, 1898. The last two leaders before US takeover were: 1874-1891- King David Kalahua, who died in 1891 and was replaced by 1891-1893- Queen Liliuokalani. She protested the US intention to takeover Hawaii made known in 1893. But this was to no avail. On July 7, 1898 the US annexed Hawaii and in 1900 it was declared a US Territory. In 1959, the same year as Alaska, Hawaii became the 50th US State.

Hawaii was annexed by the U.S. in 1898 and illegally overthrown Hawaii's Queen Lili'uokalani in 1893, imprisoning her in her own Hawaiian castle known as the I'olani Palace, forcing her to only one room. The Republic U.S. then let the U.S. take over Hawaii and made it the 50th state in 1959.

It's sad how the American ppl stole Africans, killed many civilizations, including Indians, Hawaiians, Aborigines, and so many other nations. It's so sad. Living the ppl of their nation in charge and making them allies. We have to stop acting like barbarians.
